The federal government issues calls for proposals through Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada. These calls are for everyone. There are requests for a bilingual program for both francophones and anglophones. Often, when minority organizations such as ours compete with majority organizations, the criteria, the impact and the numbers obviously cannot be compared.
Let's take the example of an organization like ours, which helps 7,000 francophone businesses, and compare it to what an organization that serves anglophones can do. The number of companies is much larger. You'll understand that we represent 2% of the population, whereas they represent 98%. Sometimes it's a little difficult to compare us to them. It's often suggested that we get closer to anglophone organizations. Sometimes it's possible and it works well, and sometimes it's a little more complicated. We depend on the goodwill of each organization. That's what I meant.
